Lunch with Rentokil, Have a Chat on Pest Awareness

16 February 2017

Rentokil Initial has recently held a “Lunch on Rentokil” event at South Quarter building in February, among tenants within the Human Resource and General Administration function. The networking lunch aims to enhance engagement among tenants, while raising awareness on basic yet critical topics such as hygiene standards and pest risks in the office and at home.

Hosting non-customers and new audiences, some common queries bugging businesses were also raised and answered by the Rentokil experts.

For instance, why would cockroaches and ants always surface in the pantry and kitchen areas, how to prevent them, and what treatments can be done to remove these infestations. Widely known as the “Pest of Poor Hygiene”, these cockroaches tend to pick up diseases and contaminate food consumption, leaving employees sick from food poisoning symptoms. Very often, self-help and DIY methods are used to resolve them; however, cockroaches are challenging to manage, because they tend to hide at corners and hard to spot or reach areas. In-fact, they only emerge at night, which makes it more challenging to find them, because most employees will be home by then. Find out which are the typical hiding areas of cockroaches.
